Fig. 2 Placement of surface electrode array (14 channels) over trapezius muscle. Channel 7 records EMG data directly over the trigger point location, as determined by myofascial specialist. Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology , 41-48DOI: ( /j.jelekin ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions

Fig. 4 Average median frequency cycles (across all spatial locations combined) as a function of condition. Whiskers=1 standard deviation. Results showed that all three conditions were significantly different from one another. Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology , 41-48DOI: ( /j.jelekin ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions

Fig. 5 Average median frequency cycles (across all subjects) as a function of muscle spatial location (relative to MTrP). Location highlighted in red represents the MTrP location. Green (lighter) locations represent locations that are significantly different from MTrP location (p<0.05). Grey discs indicate electrode placement while the dotted lines represent muscle striation lines.

Fig. 6 Mean VAS scores for neck/backache (post–pre) as a function of condition. Whiskers=1 standard deviation. Results showed that VL/PL and VL/PH conditions were significantly different; however, VH/PL condition was not significantly different from the other two conditions.
